Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams lean beef tenderloin
- 1 medium shallot
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 teaspoons low-fat mustard
- 1 teaspoon low-fat Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chives
- 2 tablespoons cornichons
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by placing the lean beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This makes it easier to dice finely.
While the beef is chilling, finely dice the shallot, capers, and cornichons. Set aside.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and chives, and set them aside separately.
Once slightly frozen, remove the beef from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, cut the beef into very small dice.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced beef, shallot, capers, and cornichons.
Add the low-fat mustard, low-fat Worcestershire sauce, and white vinegar to the beef mixture and gently mix.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the egg yolk into the center of the mixture and gently mix until well blended. Ensure even distribution throughout the beef.
Fold in the chopped parsley and chives until just combined.
Place a ring mold on each plate and fill with the beef mixture, pressing down gently to form a neat round shape. Remove the mold carefully.
Serve immediately as an appetizer or light main dish with crusty bread or low-fat crackers.
